Mister Dva Dublatovich, I admire and respect you. Through your unparalleled prowess in wholesale and retail trade, extended to exports and imports across the globe, you have become one of our wealthiest citizens. You have two magnificent castles, two exuberantly luxurious yachts, two custom Rolls Royces. You told me earlier that you also have two tropical islands that don't even appear on maps. But still, why did you build two burial places?
(Translated by Lenuța Bejenaru / University of Bucharest, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, MTTLC, year I / Corrected by Silvia Petrescu, coordinator of the translations)Real Fiction is a collective project started in 2013 by Florin Piersic Jr. The concept of Real Fiction continued to exist as a Facebook group, after a volume of stories was published at Humanitas Publishing House. (In May 2022, the group has 8,350 members.) The authors write ultra-short stories, with the texts limited to 500 characters (in Romanian, so the length of the English translation might be a little different) - a flash-fiction exercise on a topic that changes every few days. The group's coordinators are Florin Piersic Jr., Gabriel Molnar, Răzvan Penescu, and Luchian Abel. (Drawing by Adrian T. Roman)
